Princess of Suburbia.

cupcake. dollface. blue eyed beauty. cookie cutter girl, princess of suburbia. she's sick, because she likes it. blood confetti on her notebooks, the twinkle in her eye. staining words on twisted minds. her followers. they want to taste the berries on her lips, feeling the metallic taste in her mouth. they love the broken things, mangled shoelaces, hearts torn apart. they look up to her. she used to play with barbie dolls. turning them into baby prostitutes, coke heads, models who rose above. she used to sing to herself in the basement, or where ever there was running water. math makes her brain itch. wal-mart makes her claustraphobic. so lets break out, she thinks, slipping valium into her teddy bears head. no need to hide from the monsters of her mind. theyve already gotten to her.
